a lot of guys that fish Fish Creek will know the retired Asian fellow that always fishes down there..i don't think i've ever seen him cast further then 30 feet (has anyone?) and he catch's more fish than anyone i've ever seen...
he told me he caught 1037 in 2008,no indicator,regular leader and same three bugs,this isn't a big secret ...he always tells me not to use an indie...
and when fishing up or down from him he's usually pretty busy and never hucking bugs more than 30' tops
at 1037 in a year would be an average of 86 fish a month...i'm positive i could try and copy his style of fishing and not do near as well,so i don't bother and do my own thing and do about half as well (at best)
he's great to share the river with
everyone is so fascinated with distance..
yup,i'm the same way,fishing from shore i have to hit the middle and fishing from the middle i have to hit the shore...weird isn't it,but 90% of my fish are caught in close (20-40') but that could be from being consistant at a certain reach,wether that's 20' or 80' depends on the person
